If referring to Dark Souls is a descriptor for a game, what is Dark Souls supposed to be? What is the game described as?

Imagine if we referred to all First Person Shooters as Doom-Likes.

It makes sense when the real name of the genre is too long and complicated. We call other genre of games rougelikes or alternatively rougelites to refer to specific type of gameplay design.
Soulslike is shorter than Third Person Action Role Playing Adventure game

Dark Souls is a Demon Souls-like
before you ask, Demon Souls is a Kings Field in a third person perspective-like
and King's Field is a first person hack and slash RPG

You have to face the reality that we're not likely to see any innovation in gaming from here on out, so embrace your Sisyphean nightmare. The market's expectations for ROI are simply too high to do anything except what worked the last time, leading to a recursive pattern of enshittification. It's Dark Souls and CoD clones the whole way down.

Theoretically no. To start with, you'd have to weigh enough to shatter the glass instead of just bouncing off of it.
And also, the glass would impale both you and the person you landed on (a combination of glass piercing flesh, being pressed into by the body entering the vehicle, AND also being crushed by the body entering the vehicle), instantly killing them and gravely injuring you.
On top of all that, when you finally landed in the car, the momentum of the vehicle itself would hit you like a freight train.
And on top of all that, the windshield isn't big enough for you to just assume a seated position and flop into it instantly unless you're a contortionist.
Your spine would probably be shattered from the force of having your legs shoved into such an awkward position to slid into the driver's seat, over the steering wheel and console, and then also flop into position.
There's WAY too much shit that can go wrong there.

But attacking is super slow unlike any other hack and slash, your character dies after being tapped once by anything, and bosses jump and move around like they're Dragon Ball characters while your only way to overcome that is by memorizing their paterns after fighting them like twenty times and rolling around at the right moment, so it's also a reflex game
